Notes

[Inside gatefold]:
... The ballet
"I Am Curious Orange" was performed by the
renownly extravagant contemporary dance group
"Michael Clark and Company". The music was
created and performed on stage by the renownly
radical rock band "The Fall"
... The show was
performed during 1988 in Amsterdam, Edinburgh and
Sadlerswells ...

'I Am Curious Orange' was originally co-produced by
The Holland Festival and Sadler's Wells Theatre, London
World premiere: Amsterdam 11 June 1988

Track B6 is an unlisted excerpt from Last Nacht, a longer version of which appears on the "I Am Kurious Oranj" CD edition. It may also be of interest to note that the LP contains studio versions of tracks A3 and B1 while the CD contains live versions of these tracks. The LP also uses a slightly longer edit of track B2, with a spoken part at the end not present on the CD.

    Thoroughly recommend this - great sounding copy from the last proper album of the first Brix era. Some of the era's highlights appear here including the wonderful "Overture" probably the most un-Fall sounding track they ever did.

      essential work from the Fall - theatric and acid - such a unique voice - and an excellent loud production
